I Slept with My Boss and Ran Away

Meredith was angry and disappointed. How could she have only just found out?

She had mentioned losing the resume the day she came back. If Terrence Sterling found Fiona through the resume, he must have mentioned that night.

Even if Fiona was dumb, she should have known that Terrence Sterling was looking for her.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

Fiona tried to defend herself: “No, I didn’t lie. I was shocked at the time, and I didn’t think much about it.”

“Fiona,” Meredith’s voice was cold, “We’ve known each other for so many years, do you think I don’t understand you? It was because he’s Terrence Sterling, and you wanted us to believe that, isn’t that right?”

Meredith felt extremely uncomfortable, her veins felt clogged like cotton, and she was suffocating.

She was not only upset about Fiona’s deceit but also her unrepentant attitude, her shifting of blame.

She had been feeling guilty during this time, thinking that she had ruined Fiona’s relationship and became a third wheel.

She had been avoiding Terrence Sterling, restraining herself.

But the truth was, Fiona met Terrence Sterling after that night but decided to deceive her.

Fiona couldn’t argue back: “Say what you want, you won’t believe me anyway. This is what it is, I’ll just give you Terrence Sterling.”

“Fiona,” Meredith was furious at this attitude.

Justin, with a stern face, said, “Fiona, speak properly. You’re in the wrong.”

Seeing Justin siding with Meredith, Fiona was unhappy and said, “What else can I say? I’ve said it, she doesn’t believe me. It’s their mistake, what do I care? It’s not like I went to him willingly. If she slept with Terrence Sterling, why doesn’t she admit it openly? She’s just playing games, thinking she can marry into the Sterling family. People like us from the lower class shouldn’t dream of marrying into a wealthy household…”

“Fiona,” Meredith spoke sternly, “You should be grateful for our twenty-plus years of friendship. Otherwise, I would really slap you.”

Meredith had been patient and restrained, twenty-plus years of friendship had been wasted.

Seeing Meredith’s terrifying expression, Fiona wisely remained silent.

Justin also with a serious face, said, “Fiona, how can you say such things.”

Meredith took a deep breath and asked, “Why did Terrence Sterling kick you out of Thornfield Gardens? Fiona, if you don’t tell the truth, I will slap you.”

Meredith raised her hand as a gesture.

She considered Fiona a sister, feeling angry about Fiona’s deceit and unyielding attitude.

Fiona muttered softly, “Terrence Sterling found out that the person that night wasn’t me. Meredith, did you say something, otherwise how would Terrence Sterling suspect me?”

Meredith laughed coldly.

Now that the truth was out, was she still blaming her?

“I must have been blind. Fiona, I must be crazy to believe you again.” Meredith said this and left in anger.

Meredith was deeply upset, angered by Fiona’s lack of remorse and her unyielding attitude.

Justin pointed at Fiona, “You… You are hopeless.”

Leaving these words behind, Justin hurried after Meredith.

Fiona was so angry that she threw the pillow on the sofa. Offending Meredith, she felt no remorse.

Justin caught up with Meredith downstairs and advised, “Meredith, don’t be mad at Fiona. She’s just in a bad mood due to a failed investment, that’s why she’s being so careless with her words.”

“Let me calm down on my own.” Meredith’s mind was in a mess. Now that she knew the reason why Terrence Sterling brought Fiona back to Thornfield Gardens, she felt confused.

After finding out that Fiona wasn’t the person from that night, Terrence Sterling had kicked her out.

He had been coming to see her lately, saying those inexplicable things – did he know it was her that night?

“Justin, did you already know about this whole thing?” Meredith asked, “You know Fiona, she would never admit it, how could she admit it now?”

“I just found out as well,” Justin said, “I came to see Fiona and coincidentally ran into Terrence Sterling. I overheard their conversation, and it was Terrence Sterling who asked Fiona to come and clarify things with you.”

At his words, a firecracker exploded in Meredith’s mind.

“He… he knows?” Meredith thought about Terrence Sterling’s words from last night, thought about when she said she cared for the man from that night so deeply, and she wished she could just disappear into the ground.

What was Terrence Sterling thinking when he heard her confession then?
